All legwear in the Vaeon Roubaix range uses 235g Lombardia Lycra Fabric. The fabric is made from 85% Nylon and 15% Elastane, making it a strong compressive fabric, with luxurious hand-feel. The fabric face in contact with the skin has been precision brushed to create a Roubaix finish. This means the inside is fleecy and soft to touch. These brushed fibres trap a layer of air between the fabric and skin, which acts as an insulation barrier between busy warm legs and the cold fresh air. This fabric is suited for general UK Winter conditions (8-15deg Celsius depending on ride intensity) but not extreme cold.

The Vaeon Roubaix has taken the Pace Roubaix fitting block and improved it. The Vaeon Roubaix is now snugger and more form fitting. The fit has been sharpened around the backside and behind the knees. The anatomical form fit is snug around the body without excess fabric and without restricting movement.

Waist tights are a great solution for commuters wishing to quickly change in and out of their gear or to make loo stops more convenient avoiding the need to undress. Some cyclists will use waist tights as an additional layer over their base bib shorts to boost warmth and comfort. dhb Winter waist tights are patterned to extend up to the true waist position so that the drafts around the belly area can be eliminated.

The CyTech Speed chamois (padded insert) is the mid-level protection giving comfort in the saddle for full half day session. The dual density foam, with anatomical 3D shape spreads the load onto your saddle helping to minimise pressure points. The smooth contact fabric face uses CyTech’s patented ‘Elastic Interface’ fabric, which is designed to endure continual, flex and stress without causing chafing. A great choice for those who ride want to ride 60miles before lunch on a fresh winters day!

Leg openings have elasticated hems with clear silicone grippers. This helps to ensure that the leg stays in place around the ankle and does not ride upwards.

Reflective dhb logos on the garment help to improve your road visibility when riding in reduced light conditions.

About Cycling Tights

Winter cycling tights, also known as 'longs' are the best way to keep your leg muscles warm when the weather turns cold. Fleecy backed fabrics are comfortable next to your skin and help retain warmth, even when they're wet. Look for double-layer knees to keep your joints protected. Calf-length tights, also known as 'knickers' are great for days when it's not too cold but you want to keep your knees warm.

Excellent choice
This was my first DHB product to order online from Wiggle and I must say I am extremely happy with them. The fit is excellent, they stayed in place during my bike ride and kept me warm and comfortable. No complaints. Would definitely recommend and will be ordering more myself.

Look good but didn't pass the road test!
These tights are a nice weight material and they seem at first to be well cut and a good fit. The pad was fair - similar to dhb bib tights that I am happy with.
Out on the road the tights were far from what they promised. They don't stay up well and as soon as I got out of the saddle they are dragged down by leg movement. The pad is then displaced so the fun of being on the bike is lost to discomfort. I must have stopped very twenty minutes or so to pull them back up. Needless to say they only saw one ride but after road testing it is too late to return them.
This is not a size issue as they seemed a good fit there is just insufficient retention at the waist. I my give them another go with a stitch in the waist band.
I am usually an advocate for dhb but these didn't cut it!

Really comfy
I can see what others mean about them not having a drawstring and the front rolling down when you wear these. I was worried they might actually fall down! But once I'm on the bike it doesn't bother me a bit and they're very comfy. I can sometimes need a size 12 in trousers, but I found the 10 fitted perfectly. Padding is spot on for the few 30 mile rides I've done in these so far. Not sure if they're going to be warm enough when it starts to get really cold, but time will tell. I used to wear cheap shorts / tights (karrimor) but these are so much better. I own some DHB shorts too. If, like me you've found yourself wanting a bit more comfort, these aren't too expensive and are well worth it!

Answer:

I am a small size 8 and normally buy cycle clothing in a size XS. I bought these tights and they are a good fit but beware if like me you have a small waist (23") as they will be a bit baggy around the waist.The measurements are a little misleading as the tights are very stretchy so take the stretch into account. The leg length is also good on me, I'm 5'4" .

I went up a size and they fit snugly - the waist is very short so unless you are skinny in this region they will roll down - there is no band or extra support to help them stay up. warm in winter however.

I am a slim size 10 but tall (5'11) with long legs and long in the body. I'm wondering whether these tights will sit too low when I'm cycling. Can anyone tell me the measurement of the rise, or how these come up? Do they sit up on the waist or on the hips? Thanks!
